Upma is always a big no in my house but this one and the idly upma is exceptional.My son who is a picky eater and doesn't like to take Indian lunch box dishes likes this fusion upma.As he prefers pasta without cheese and pasta sauce I make masala pasta and upma once in a while for his lunch box.
Coming to the recipe,I exactly followed the rava upma recipe,instead I used the elbow shaped pasta.

Never thought of making upma with macaroni. Sounds delicious. Will try this fusion dish soon.
Tried to do some research on upma and landed here.
But now I'm confused.
Now isn't this the same as any one pot pasta/noodle dish ?
I could use any ingredient ?
I could use rice for example - but then I would rather call it pulao.
So what makes upma 'upma' ?
Thank you.
